Sister Wives star Meri Brown didn’t mention Kody Brown this weekend, but after an abrupt halt mid-sentence, fans think she had her TLC co-star in mind.

During a recent interview, Meri used elaborate distraction techniques to keep something a secret when addressing her million-plus followers online. So what’s up with Meri Brown?

Sister Wives: Meri Brown Rolls Out Intrigue

Meri Brown wasn’t wearing a trench coat, and a magnifying glass was nowhere to be found. But she still tried creating an air of intrigue in one of her latest posts.

One of Meri’s newest hobbies is reading questions about herself, which she finds on Google. Some of them are funny, and others are a bit mundane. But, occasionally, a zinger pushes through, making things interesting for Sister Wives fans.

And that was the case with her latest round of questions. She started to describe a home remodeling project, but instead of hearing what she had to say, the screen lit up.

Meri Plays With the Fans with “Him” News – Kody Brown?

So, Meri made it obvious that what she has to say isn’t ready for the fans’ ears yet. But she revealed her news behind one of those “Technical Difficulties” messages. The Sister Wives celeb became very animated, but you couldn’t hear a word she said. Or even see her lips to read them.

Once she got that news out of the way, the Sister Wives fans scratched their heads, wondering why all the mystery. But then Meri dropped another interesting bit of info.

She became excited as she started to share something. But then she abruptly stopped. She then conversed with whoever was on the other side of the camera. Meri Brown then asked the unknown person if it was okay to mention this news.

Whatever it was, it obviously got her very excited. But, the decision was not to share it just yet. So, next, she promised the news about “him” will come soon.

That perked up the Sister Wives fans’ ears.  By now, fans heard the excitement in Meri’s voice and watched her get animated over news that she’s seemingly itching to share. But they heard nothing, nothing at all new from all of this.

Sister Wives: Is Meri Teasing Kody News or a New ‘Him’?

A while back, Meri Brown admitted she sometimes throws things out to the masses, knowing she will likely start a rumor. As far as decorating goes, the fans weren’t too interested in her decor news that they never got to hear due to her technical difficulty ploy.

But the word “him” has fans speculating that Meri either has a new man, or she’s referring to Kody Brown. It seems Kody fell off the face of the Earth since the last season of Sister Wives.

A few photos of Kody surfaced from his son’s memorial service. Other than that, he’s been fairly reclusive to the public. But since Garrison Brown’s death, the three wives who divorced Kody don’t seem to mention their once-shared husband.

So, with that said, some fans think Meri and Kody may have made amends and that name she didn’t mention might be his. Well, Meri left room for a ton of speculation this time around.

So, fans now wonder if Kody Brown somehow enters into her reveal of “him”. Or, at the very least, maybe she’s harboring a new man. Anyway, it looks like this Sister Wives star started the ball rolling. Her followers likely find out soon if it was rumor bait or a tease of real news for her fans of the TLC series.

Sister Wives star Meri Brown released a message about suicide this weekend that caught the attention of the fans from her TLC show. This message appears similar to the usual cryptic posts she dangles online for her followers. Fans want to know where she is going with this, or if she is pointing the finger at someone.

Sister Wives: Meri Brown Comes Out of Left Field with Message

Meri Brown wasn’t talking about anything recently that coincides with the message she posted over the weekend. She never mentioned a name when sharing this new post with her million-plus followers.

For Sister Wives fans, many assumed that she had the tragic ending to Garrison Brown’s life in mind with this post. Garrison took his life two months ago. The police ruled it a suicide after finding him with a gunshot wound to the head.

Sister Wives fans were surprised to see such a blatant message about suicide. But then many realized at the end of Meri’s post the message also said that “May is Mental Health Awareness Month”.

So, is this Meri’s way of drawing attention to this with hopes of getting the word out? And maybe staving off this awful outcome for another family?

Meri’s devastation over Garrison’s death became clear in her posts. She, and the rest of the family, were at a loss about how to navigate going forward with such a loss now part of their lives.

So, for her to want to get a message out about suicide is only understandable, especially if it helps others. But some fans wonder if that is the only message within that post.

Meri Mentions No Names

Meri never mentioned a name in her message, so if she points a finger at someone, that person remains a mystery. Cryptic messages from Meri in the past left fans assuming she was talking about another Sister Wives family member at the time.

But this message deals with an unsettling topic. It talks about people not taking someone seriously when they suffer from mental illness. Instead, some tend to accuse the person of attention-seeking when suicidal.

Meri Brown’s message also talks about the regrets in hindsight of a suicide. In the aftermath of a suicide, people “feel bad” and “wish they saw the signs”. And that’s likely true in many families after a loved one takes their own life.

Sister Wives: Too Soon for This?

While the message is important, some Sister Wives fans worry that the words might sound a bit condemning for those left behind in the famous Brown family.

The Sister Wives tragedy has the family in its early days, wrestling with ways to move on. So, some fans suggest this message, coming from a family member, might give off the wrong idea. This post could be deciphered as Meri Brown pointing fingers at an unnamed family member.

Again, it’s important to take any suggestion of suicide seriously enough to act immediately, which is a message that needs to be heard.

Still, some fans suggest with all the turmoil seen within that family, Meri Brown’s seemingly cryptic message might rip open a few wounds.

Again, this message needs to get out there. But as a Sister Wives family member, fans think the wording could have been a bit different, so it left no room for speculation as a finger-pointing post.

Sister Wives star Janelle Brown’s son’s recent chilling behavior caught the eye of some fans, who continue to debate what they see online today from the now-defunct polygamous family from this TLC series.

Sister Wives: Janelle Brown & Daring Son

Janelle Brown is now a mom whose kids are all grown up. But for fans, it seems like it was only yesterday her youngest, Savanah Brown, was coloring at the kitchen table.

But the latest post to catch the eyes of her Sister Wives fans has nothing to do with a coloring book or Savanah, for that matter. No, it has to do with her 27-year-old son, Hunter Brown. He is the third child of Janelle and the sixth offspring of Kody Brown.

Fans see Janelle’s kids as a polite brood while saying what is on their minds. Usually, Hunter is not seen by fans as craving the limelight. But, his newest social media posts left plenty of room for the Sister Wives fans to have their say over what they see.

Hunter Brown Has Janelle’s Back

While we might not see too much of this son on Sister Wives, he is very protective of Janelle in real life. During the services for his brother, Garrison Brown, the photos indicated that he didn’t leave his mom’s side.

He stood behind her during some of the more emotional parts of that service.  Janelle’s kids are wonderful to their mom. This was seen during the tragic event that rocked the Sister Wives family. But this son’s protective behavior with his mom stood out for the fans.

This son also has a terrific sense of humor, which brings us to a recent post on social media. Talk about a chill…

Sister Wives: Hunter Brown Offers Bone Chilling Photo

Janelle Brown gets a kick out of her kids, and their sense of humor brought many a smile to their mom’s face in the past. But in a recent post, Hunter’s sense of humor not only gave the audience a shiver, he’s likely shivering himself.

Janelle Brown’s son sits in a freezer full of ice water and ice cubes. Check it out in the screenshot below. In the clip, the top of the freezer opens, and out he pops. But the debate from critics goes beyond the temperature of his ice bath.

Believe it or not, some Sister Wives fans were taken aback by the amount of skin Janelle’s son showed in this photo. Of course, the complaints were bombarded by people who saw nothing wrong with this clip.

Others suggested this was a fun activity and this family could use a few smiles on the heels of their recent tragedy. So that smile on Hunter’s face was a welcome sight for Sister Wives fans and likely Janelle as well.

Many suggested you would see more skin on a beach with bathing suit-clad sunbathers. He probably wore a bathing suit, or maybe even a pair of shorts, under all those floating ice cubes.

But a few fans pointed out that even if he went in with his birthday suit on, he never once showed anything inappropriate for general audiences.

So, Janelle Brown’s son, Hunter Brown, managed to give the Sister Wives fans a chill. But, a little jolt is always good between seasons of this TLC series.

Meri Brown simply cannot win when it comes to her professional life.

Previously, the long-time Sister Wives star worked as a salesperson for LuLaRoe, a fashion company that pretty much everyone believes to be a pyramid scheme.

It really did seem like a pretty shady endeavor.

Now, meanwhile, Meri appears to have left that business behind…

… but many fans aren’t thrilled with what she has replaced it with.

Just a few days ago, Meri announced that she had launched a company named after a phrase she often uses on social media: Worthy Up.

“I’ve spent the better part of the past decade taking a good look at myself and figuring out who I am, what I want, and where I’m going. I had to Worthy Up,” Brown shared via the company’s Facebook page on Friday, April 26.

“This community is a place where I will share my personal experiences of growth and hope to support you in your journey, too.”

According to this Facebook page, Worthy Up is “a community focused on transformation and self discovery” and “a safe space for individuals to grow, connect, and inspire one another.”

We said at the time of our reporting that we weren’t exactly sure what any of this meant; we were confused by what the company actually does.

Fast forward to May 6 and Meri talking more in depth in an Instagram video about this “passion project.”

At one point, Brown mentioned that membership costs for Worthy Up cost anywhere from $150 to $600 per year, prompting quite a bit of consternation and annoyance from a number of users.

“What is this that would cost $600 a year? Putting your self on a list? I don’t understand what this is about?” one fan asked.

“What IS it? The ‘community’ what does that mean?” another user commented, while a third fan agreed as follows:

“Is it an [MLM]? A book? A course? A podcast? What is it?? What are ppl paying for??”

We very much agree with this sentiment.

A post shared by Meri (@therealmeribrown)

In the clip above, Meri is sitting on a porch and looking down at her knees, prior to stating in a voiceover:

“I’m done allowing other people to determine my worth. My voice will be heard.”

The video then goes over to Meri in a confessional … explaining that she’s had times where she’s felt “supported,” but also times where she was in a “dark place.”

However, she knew she was “not the only person in the world” who dealt with this, saying into the camera:

“I really wanted to be able to tell the full truth about myself. And while doing that, helping other people to understand that just because they exist, they are worthy.”

This sounds very admirable.

And we appreciate the perspective Meri has often had on her life, its trials, its tribulations and all she’s gone through with Kody Brown.

Of Worthy Up this week, Meri continued:

“I’m so excited to see it come to fruition! I’ve spent the better part of the past decade taking a good look at myself and figuring out who I am, what I want, and where I’m going. I knew I had to Worthy Up!

“The community I’ve created is a place where I will be sharing my personal experiences of growth, and want to support you in yours, as well! Remember, simply because you exist, YOU are worthy!!”

The company offers three different membership tiers, according to the website.

With the $150 Insight Membership, fans get a digital membership for the remainder of 2024, as well as access to the Worthy Up Facebook group, a “printable pdf WOW workbook,” an “accountability community” and first access to knowledge about upcoming events and merchandise.

The $300 Inspiration Membership comes with all of the above, plus “one interactive virtual live discussion” per month and a Worthy Up merchandise package.

Finally, the $600 Impact Membership offers all of the above, plus a discount on events and next year’s membership and a “surprise bonus gift from Meri.”

Meri Brown is Getting CRUSHED for Cost of Joining Her New Company was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Sister Wives star Kody Brown set out to prove something, but instead, it sounds like he’s morphing into a stigma for another family practicing polygamy in a TLC series. Kody failed to keep his famous polygamous family intact after setting out to prove something to the world with his reality show.

His lifestyle was once an inspiration for a wife from another TLC polygamous series, Seeking Sister Wife. But today, Dannielle Merrifield, the star of that show, adamantly shuts down the comparisons to their family with Kody’s now defunct brood.

Sister Wives: Comparisons to Kody Brown

Kody Brown made quite an impact on reality TV. So, it seems only natural that his polygamous series would collect comparisons. Especially from another show featuring a polygamous lifestyle.

But, unlike Sister Wives, where cameras follow Kody and his four wives, Seeking Sister Wife has a little more variety. Instead of one family’s trials and tribulations, the other show offers three families as examples of polygamy today.

This series covers the search for another wife, the courting stage, and the ordeal of transitioning a new wife into the family. While the Sister Wives fans saw the courting of Robyn Brown, followed by the rather rocky transitioning phase into a wife, that was over a decade ago

That’s Not Us…

Dannielle Merrifield recently rejected a comparison made about her and her husband, Garrick Merrifield, to Kody’s plural marriage. Danielle says that her relationship with her husband resembles nothing at all when it comes to Kody Brown and his once-four wives.

She pointed out that because Kody Brown’s polygamous marriages failed, it isn’t a road map for all other plural marriages. It’s the same case with monogamous marriages, when one fails, it doesn’t mean they all will.

Dannielle was very aware of Kody and his Sister Wives series. She said she started watching the show while still in high school.

While the family is in ruins today, that wasn’t always the case. She suggested the Brown family had a good thing going for many years. Dannielle talked about  Kody and his wives, “I think they had a lot of problems. It’s a lot of work. Relationships are hard”.

Sister Wives: Kody Brown – Standard for Polygamy Today?

Kody and his family came on the reality scene expecting to show the world something. Their message was that polygamous families can live very normal lives. He showed up with his TLC reality show on the heels of polygamy getting a bad name in the news.

So, he had a bit of a battle on his hands. He needed to demonstrate that all families are not alike in a plural marriage. And he was successful. People warmed up to Kody and his wives.

Their kids seemed well-rounded, and their five parents demonstrated love and caring within the family. But as time went on, problems piled up. So, today Kody Brown practices monogamy with Robyn Brown, the last wife left.

Kody was adamant about showing the world they were a typical family. But instead, he had four wives and his kids had four mothers. Just like today, Dannielle pushes back when they are compared to Kody Brown and his family.

Ironically, years back, that’s how Kody started. He pushed against the headlines of the dark side of polygamy. Now another series attempts to show that it could work, as it almost did with Kody Brown when signing up for the TLC series.

The post Sister Wives: Kody Now Polygamy Pariah? appeared first on Soap Dirt.

Sister Wives stars Kody Brown and Robyn Brown have fans tagging them as villains, as they seem to drift further from redemption than ever before, both on and off the TLC series. But hints dropped that these two could be busy in a clean-up spree ahead of Season 19.

Sister Wives: Kody Brown & Robyn Brown Tucked Away

Kody Brown and his remaining wife, Robyn Brown, have stayed out of sight since the curtain went down on the last season. A few astute Sister Wives fans managed to capture a photo or two of the elusive couple.

But for most of these photos, you would need a magnifying glass to spot any resemblance. Kody doesn’t seem to stand still for too long while tooting around in public these days.

Well, at least not long enough for a Sister Wives fan to grab a photo that shows his face. One of the latest photos circulating online captures the back of Kody Brown.

The fan who captured a picture of Kody from behind describes him as sprinting through shops in a casino. Robyn was nowhere in sight at the time.

So, some fans think this flitting around avoiding the camera lens might have something to do with Kody and Robyn Brown’s grand scheme.

Kody & Robyn – Too Quiet

Not long ago, the Sister Wives family’s adult children came out of the woodwork with their online venues on social media. They offered little quips about what’s up within the family.

Tony Padron and Mykelti Brown Padron were a fountain of information regarding Robyn and Kody. Kody and his youngest wife remain eerily quiet between the last season and the one in the works today.

But Mykelti and Tony dropped a hint that might explain what’s up with this. The Sister Wives patriarch and Robyn might have some behind-the-scenes help.

Mykelti and Tony touched on Robyn’s comfort level around filming the show. According to Tony, Robyn doesn’t like being on camera. But what she hates even more is those segments that replaced the season finale “tell all” episodes.

It is excruciatingly painful for Robyn to watch scenes from the season and then have to talk about them on camera. Both Mykelti and Tony agreed that this is something she despises.

Sister Wives: Price to Pay

Robyn didn’t always hate the limelight, a few of the things on her bucket list suggest she was seeking fame. Plus, she knew about the Sister Wives series getting ready to film when she first showed up on Kody’s radar.

But that same fame she was after, turned on her. The Sister Wives fans say she is famous alright, but not much liked. As each season played out, Robyn looked more and more like a homewrecker to fans.

She acknowledges the term homewrecker is something she often sees via fan comments online. Then there’s Kody, who fans describe as a man who belittled his wives on the Sister Wives screen.

But for many fans, his crowning dark achievement was how he treated some of his adult kids. This isn’t hearsay, the guy did this with cameras rolling, so it’s out there forever. But now what?

Sweeping It Under the Rug?

During one of their on-screen chats, Tony Padron suggested that Robyn Brown may be beyond help from a PR firm. That turned on a lightbulb for some fans.

Some of the Sister Wives followers suggest if any couple ever needed a little help in public relations, that would be Robyn and Kody Brown. But, it sounds like Tony thinks that ship sailed a while ago.

So, when Sister Wives Season 19 rolls out, and we see the now monogamous couple for the first time in a long time, will something change? Some fans think the couple are following some PR advice already.

They’ve stayed out of the limelight, and haven’t gone near social media, although Robyn hasn’t in a few years. Even with the Cameos Kody makes these days, he seems to stay away from anything about his family.

Kody and Robyn Brown are a hot commodity, together or alone, in the world of reality TV. But neither has done any interviews, which is something that Kody once did quite often.

So, is the plan to stay quietly tucked away and hope that the Sister Wives’ fans’ memories fade? Some fans think it could be… but others, like Tony, think they are beyond the help of any spin PR could put on the couple from the TLC series.

Sister Wives star Meri Brown offered some somber notes, a few hysterically funny quips, and then got a little frisky in her latest update on life outside the TLC show. But she managed to drop a few jaws among the audience with a couple of her innuendos.

She also revealed something that recently dawned on her concerning grieving for Garrison Brown. So, Meri shared a mixed bag of news from her bed and breakfast establishment in Utah on a live feed Friday night.

Sister Wives: The World According to Meri Brown

Meri Brown calls it just how she sees it. She knows that some people like her, and others don’t. But, that’s fine by her. She once wore the hat as the first wife in the Sister Wives family.

So, she’s got plenty of experience with negative comments. Despite enduring years of nasty comments coming her way, she didn’t get used to it.

Those awful zingers still hurt. But she moves on and is thankful for all the support many other fans give her.

Meri’s live venue, Friday Nights with Friends, draws a crowd to her Instagram page. Jenn Sullivan, Meri’s best friend, co-hosts. These two are a comedy act, as they feed off each other.

It’s very different from what you see in the Sister Wives series. These two can make even the most mundane acts of life look interesting. And that is what they did this weekend as they hit on things that sparked interest in fans.

A Very Loose Venue…

To set the scene of Meri Brown’s show, you have Meri and Jenn squished together. This way, their cell phone camera can pick them both up on the screen. But all too often, one of them gets cut off, most of the time, it is Jenn.

This week, Meri Brown’s dog barked excessively throughout the time they addressed their fans. As Sister Wives followers watched, a shadow would appear every so often. Jenn explained that the shadow belonged to her husband.

The poor guy paced the grounds outside waiting for his wife to finish up. But, then the fans learned that the dog was barking because her husband was outside.

Slip in a Promotion or Two

Last week, the ladies wore sweatshirts and sweatpants with the logo indicating a soda brand. This week, a can of that soda replaced the sippy cups usually seen in Meri and Jenn’s hands.

While sipping the brand, they threw in a few of the flavors they liked from this soda line. Plus, they managed to squeeze in where you can buy it. Sister Wives fans wondered if this was a paid promotion they were dishing out.

Sister Wives: What Ever Comes to Meri’s Mind

The original matriarch of the Sister Wives bunch doesn’t have an agenda for this online show. No, it’s more like they just wing it. Or you might say they run with whatever pops into their heads. And some of that is hilarious.

Jenn and her husband have appeared on the Sister Wives show with Meri Brown. While Jenn got some good airtime, her husband was only on the screen for about 30 seconds.

This week, Jenn told Meri how a Sister Wives fan recognized her husband. It sounds like that tickled his fancy to be seen as a celebrity. On the other hand, Jenn doesn’t seem at all after a celebrity status.

Risqué Talk with Meri and Jenn Sullivan

Meri, Jenn, and her husband spent a little time working around the B&B last week. Meri explained how they attempted to get a screw into a concrete wall.

So as Meri Brown and Jenn’s husband worked on that, Jenn couldn’t contain herself while hearing the conversation.

“Is the hole big enough,” started it off, but other sentences followed. While they were only discussing the work on the wall, it gave Jenn fuel for innuendos.

So, chatter about the light construction might have sounded a bit risqué if you were in earshot but couldn’t see what they were doing. And Jenn had a field day with this. But it left her husband saying this is why he doesn’t spend much time with these two together.

Sister Wives: Meri’s Grief Over Garrison Brown

Meri Brown is about to launch her next project. On Monday, May 6, she will introduce the world to her new Worthy Up business.

So far, Meri described Worthy Up as a message that everyone is worthy. Then she talked about a Sister Wives fan who used this to describe grieving.

So, Meri applied this to her grief over Garrison Brown’s passing. She implied that everyone is worthy of grieving, just like the fan, grieving a loved one. So there you have it, Meri Brown updates you on her life today, outside the TLC series.

The post Sister Wives: Meri Brown Drops a Few Jaws Updating Fans in Real-Time appeared first on Soap Dirt.

Sister Wives star Meri Brown suddenly becomes a fountain of information between seasons of her popular TLC series.

During her latest Q&A session, she even offered a disclaimer before spitting something out that could be inappropriate to hear. Well, let’s say it is something you might find written on the wall of a public restroom stall.

Sister Wives: Meri Brown Sugarcoats Nothing

Meri Brown sat down to answer some questions found on Google concerning the first wife of the Sister Wives brood. One false belief about Meri blew her away when she heard what some fans think.

For some reason, there is a popular belief among some Sister Wives fans that Meri Brown is a cat person. But during this Q&A session, Meri Brown made it clear that she’s not a cat person.

What got her laughing hysterical was that this false info even came with names for those two cats some people falsely believe she owns.

Meri Not Perking Up PETA’s Ears

Meri Brown didn’t come on too strong. So she won’t encourage PETA to perk up their ears. But she stated it sternly… she’s a dog person. Meri does not want to live with cats.

To state her case even more, she said Lizzie’s Heritage Inn, her B&B, is dog-friendly. It is not a cat-friendly one.

But the Sister Wives celebrity said she didn’t tread on the cat lovers out there, some, of whom, are her close friends. So, she stated that while she doesn’t want a cat, she doesn’t hate the purring creatures. She just doesn’t want to live with felines.

Sister Wives: It’s Written On the Bathroom Stall

One of the first questions was, “Who is the real Meri Brown?”  Well, Meri had a field day with that one. She tells her Sister Wives fans that she fancies herself as someone who is “freaking hilarious”.

But if you ever tuned into her Fridays with Friends online chat fest, you would know that already. She can find something funny about even the most mundane things in life.

Then Meri puts a spin on another one of her traits. She says, “It would be very inappropriate to say I am a good time… But I am a good time.”

For some Sister Wives fans, the message, “For A Good Time Call…” popped into their heads after she said this. It’s just like that message seen in bathroom stalls across the country’s public restrooms.

It seemed Meri realized it too, or she wouldn’t have offered up the disclaimer that it might sound inappropriate. But it didn’t matter to the first wife of the Sister Wives show.

It’s all in good fun for Meri Brown. Plus, her sense of humor helps keep her fans entertained during the hiatus between seasons. So, next time you read the old “For A Good Time Call,” maybe you will think about this TLC celebrity.

The post Sister Wives: Meri’s Message Fit for Public Restroom Wall appeared first on Soap Dirt.

Sister Wives star Meri Brown has likely seen enough in her lifetime that she could curl some toes if she penned a book about before, during, and after her time on the TLC series. While she previously mentioned doing this, more recent hints suggest a book might be in the cards sometime soon.

Sister Wives: Meri Brown Said It with Thunder

Meri Brown isn’t someone who usually gives you the chills when she talks. But there was a time last season when she offered up, what some fans thought sounded like, a warning.

Again, Meri Brown doesn’t put thunder in her words. For that matter, fans say she doesn’t fluctuate her voice much at all.

But this one time when she wanted to make a point, Sister Wives fans suggested she looked driven and sounded extremely serious about setting things straight.

Fans suggest her desire to write a book was sparked by Kody Brown announcing to the world that he didn’t consider Meri his wife. Then he added a few more disparaging words about his first wife from the Sister Wives brood.

Meri wouldn’t stay silent. Then, at one point, she told the fans of the TLC show that she was not done having her say. In a deeper voice than usual, she said, “Oh, my voice will be heard. I will no longer be silent.”

Meri – The Evidence Is There

One of the most horrific things Meri Brown had to endure was Kody saying he didn’t love her and then suggesting that he was manipulated into their marriage.

The Sister Wives fans heard him, but he might have forgotten something. Maybe it slipped his mind that he once gushed about his first wife in a public venue.

But Meri clapped back after saying that he never really loved her. Despite what he was saying now, decades after he married her, his first wife is adamant that he once loved her.

For that matter, so was Kody Brown when he penned a bestseller with his four wives. In that book, Kody recalls spending three years in a monogamous marriage with Meri before taking on other wives. And he wrote in the book – drum roll please, “I loved Meri, I was certain of it.”

He also wrote, “We were very much in love.” Today he calls it manipulation, but in the Sister Wives book, he calls it love and a special connection he felt with her.

So, if Meri decides to write that book, she could point this out to her fans. Maybe she will settle the debate on whether Kody Brown said this to keep the Sister Wives viewers’ interest. Hey, you build drama, they will come.

Sister Wives: What’s Up with Robyn Brown?

Meri Brown seemed to lose out to Robyn Brown in the end. Or, at least that’s what it looked like to Sister Wives viewers. She wanted to stay in her marriage, but Kody made it clear the best he could do for her was pretend.

Before “Just Jenn,” who is Meri’s best friend today, Robyn Brown played that role for Meri. But Sister Wives fans think there was more to them than meets the eye.

Was this just the convenient thing to say for the sake of the show, or were they best friends?

Fans love Jenn Sullivan, and many viewers wish they could find a best friend like her. But Robyn and Meri seemed to fall by the wayside.

While nothing was said, this is one thing they hope she’d address in her book if she writes one. They want to know the real scoop on their friendship.

Any way you look at it, Meri Brown has over a million followers online. And many of them believe she endured some awful stuff through the years of Sister Wives seasons.

So, she would likely pen herself a bestseller, as many folks would love to get their hands on a book that works as a tell-all from behind the scenes of the TLC series.

Some fans are already asking about pre-orders. This is impressive, considering there’s no official word from Meri Brown on whether she’s writing a book or not at this time.

But, going by the comments online, if this is the case, it sounds like her book could be a big seller.

The post Sister Wives: Meri’s Book – She Warned It Will All Come Out? appeared first on Soap Dirt.

Sister Wives star Janelle Brown tells a story about something in her past with Kody Brown that might explain some of her decisions seen on the TLC series.

Before marrying Kody Brown, she had something important in mind going into the future. At the time, the man with the ringlets fit that bill.

Sister Wives: Janelle Brown Set Her Sights on Kody Brown

Janelle Brown’s story goes way back to when she became newly divorced from her first husband. It starts with Kody Brown’s family. Janelle had an in at the Brown family’s ranch, as her mom was a newlywed wife to Kody’s dad, Winn Brown.

Janelle Brown told this story in the book that the Sister Wives spouses all penned together several years ago.

So, long before the Sister Wives series was even a concept, she started hanging out with Kody Brown. Next, she eyed the gregarious young man as a future husband.

Kody’s father, Winn Brown, took Janelle under his wing shortly after marrying her mom. Neither Janelle nor her mom practiced polygamy before becoming family with this father and son.

Janelle was in her early 20s when Winn set out to find a new husband for her. However, her future father-in-law had his other son in mind. But Janelle had her heart set on Winn’s son, Kody.

Potential for a Good Father

Kody was already married to Meri Brown. So, she too spent time with her husband on his father’s ranch. That’s when Janelle began to hang around with them.

So, the future second wife of the Sister Wives family was smitten with him, but not romantically. He was a good friend, a great conversationalist, and most of all, wonderful with all the kids who came to the ranch.

So, the man who played well with children was the man she wanted as the father of her future kids. And she wanted a slew of them.

Then one day, Janelle asked Meri if she could talk to Kody alone. Meri obliged, and the moment arrived when Janelle asked the future Sister Wives patriarch if she could join his family.

And from what Kody added in the book, he had already been pondering Janelle Brown as wife number two. A short courtship, a small wedding, and a strange honeymoon are all now part of Janelle’s milestone moments.

Sister Wives: Janelle & Kody Far from Love Story

Janelle Brown admits that Meri and Kody were deeply in love when she became the second wife. The shared husband also backed this up with his words in the book.

But this new Sister Wives bride was not interested in romance. That’s not what attracted her to this marriage. She wanted to belong to this family. So, she said their love affair wouldn’t emerge until years later.

Meri Brown writes that Janelle coming into the family didn’t offer competition in the romance department for her. What Janelle and Kody had was an intellectual coupling.

Meri didn’t feel this new marriage impeded on what Kody and she shared. It seems Janelle Brown’s main reason for choosing Kody was his potential as a good dad.

Janelle & Kody Secretly Did Their Thing?

After hearing about what originally attracted Janelle to her now-Sister Wives‘ husband, it sounds like she carried that theme throughout her marriage. While lots of things led to her marriage demise, it was Kody’s treatment of their adult kids that helped tilt her in the direction of a split.

But, there was some romance there, despite keeping it under wraps. She is not a kiss-and-tell kind of lady. But in one of the last Sister Wives seasons, she crumbled the popular myth that they remained just buddies through their marriage.

Janelle swallowed her pride of privacy and admitted she missed Kody Brown in several ways, including in her bed. So, she started off wanting Kody Brown as the father of her future kids. But, ironically, it seems his attitude as a father to his adult kids ultimately pushed the marriage to a hobbling end.

Meri Brown is back on the market.

The veteran Sister Wives cast member terminated her marriage with Kody Brown back in January 2023.

She then dated some guy named Amos for a few months, but announced the couple’s split this past February.

So, what does Meri’s dating life looking like at the moment? Is she actively seeking a partner?

When asked on Instagram on April 29 she was seeing anyone special, Meri replied, “Not exclusively,” although she’s “gone out on a few dates.”

The TLC personality then elaborated as follows:

“Prince Charming has not arrived. I’m not really looking for a prince. No, I’m looking for a king. There’s a bit of an energetic difference there. A prince is still a boy. I want a man who knows who he is.”

As many viewers would attest to, over the course of the last few seasons of Sister Wives, Kody has very much NOT acted like a man.

“I want somebody who knows who he is and is confident in who he is,” Meri continued.

“Because I know who I am and I’m confident in who I am and I need somebody who can match my energy. When we cross paths, we’ll know it.”

Indeed, Brown just launched a company called Worthy Up.

It’s based on valuing oneself and, according to the official Facebook page, is “a community focused on transformation and self discovery” and “a safe space for individuals to grow, connect, and inspire one another.”

Meri has been candid with fans for awhile now about her interest in self-growth.

Just considering how profound she got when explaining her break-up with Amos.

“Life is a series of experiences. How you handle them and what you learn from them is who you become from them.

“It takes courage to face difficult truths, yet it’s imperative in order to remain authentic to yourself and your commitment to personal growth,” Meri wrote to open a lengthy caption two months ago.

The long-time reality star went on:

“Just because I care a lot about someone, and him me, does not equate to full compatibility for a long-term relationship.

“When we have different dreams and aspirations, different communication styles and values, different visions for our futures, and these things aren’t aligning, it’s then that we need to make hard decisions.

“It’s a strange and sad thing to care about someone so deeply, to look beyond their past, because heaven knows we all have one, to see the kindness in their eyes and their giving heart, and still know that a life long relationship isn’t in the cards for you.”

The businesswoman added that she’s choosing to “look into my future with the hope of new opportunities” in the wake of the split, concluding:

“This is a time in my life to prioritize me, my well-being, and my personal evolution, and I look forward to more adventures and experiences on this journey we call life!”

Meri Brown: Okay, THIS is What I’m Looking for in a Man… was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Sister Wives star Robyn Brown walks to the beat of a different drummer than the other four members of the now-defunct polygamous marriage from the TLC series.

When she revealed the reason for minimizing herself on the show, some veteran viewers scratched their heads. Viewers suggest Robyn puts a spin on a few of the stories that make her come out on top. Still, others think she needs to be on the defensive because she’s often the target of disparaging remarks.

Sister Wives: Robyn Brown Cites Compassion From Day 1

Robyn Brown once explained coming into this family and the minefield she navigated to get there. With the TLC network scooping up Sister Wives, Robyn details how folks in production wanted to start the series.

She gave her perspective in the best-selling book penned by the five spouses a few years back. The idea was to roll out Sister Wives with Kody Brown marrying his fourth wife, Robyn. But, Robyn reports she wouldn’t hear of it.

She wasn’t about to come into this established family and steal the limelight from the other wives. But they didn’t have the money for a huge wedding, so she said they had to wait anyway.

Robyn Agreed to Disregard Traditional Polygamy Wedding

Money was tight that year, so TLC paid for the event, making Robyn very happy. But she explained, her happiness was only because this is what Kody wanted.

Polygamy marriages are simple and quiet, she explained. But Kody always wanted a big celebration, so she was fine with that.

But first, out of compassion for the other wives, Robyn Brown would not let her marriage take the lead in the opening of this series. Still, some fans argue that’s pretty-much how the Sister Wives opened up their first season.

Granted, they married in the first season finale, but the entire season was all about the dress, the ring, and the wedding venue. So, the way she explained it sounded good.

But the Sister Wives fans remember this differently. To many, the first season was all about Robyn Brown’s preparations for the wedding, and then the marriage event closed out the season.

Sister Wives: Spooked by the Woods

One of the other stories that took up a lot of space in the comments online was Robyn Brown’s fear of the woods. Before the Sister Wives family purchased Coyote Pass, that vacant mass of dreams sitting and still waiting, they looked at other building lots.

One of the favorites for the other wives was building lots for sale in Cottonwood. Unlike Coyote Pass, this land was mostly wooded and shaded. This was a draw to a couple of the Sister Wives ladies. But Robyn couldn’t live there.

Robyn then told the story about when she was a youngster and lived in a wooded area. Well, a wildfire broke out, scaring the heck out of her. She was traumatized. While her family weathered this awful event safely, the woods in Cottonwood brought it back for her.

So, the Sister Wives family moved on and purchased land on Coyote Pass with lots of open sky. Then it happened, Kody and Robyn needed a new house before they could build on Coyote Pass. That’s when they purchased the million-dollar home they live in now.

But fans couldn’t believe what they saw when the first photos of their new place were posted. It is in a wooded area, just like the area that spooked her at the Cottonwood lots. So, today, some fans wonder if she got over that trauma now that she’s living among the trees. Or if that was a handy way to get out of moving to a place she wasn’t too fond of.

Sister Wives star Meri Brown plays it way too smoothly these days, keeping fans interested between the seasons of the popular TLC series. This gathers some comments suggesting she’s not fooling anyone but herself.

Sister Wives: Meri Brown Basks in Fame?

Since announcing her marriage to Kody Brown was over, Meri Brown worked hard at branching out alone. Although many might debate, she started her solo act when opening her B&B without the Sister Wives’ spouses involved.

So reinventing herself seemed to be the path she went on. But Some fans of the Sister Wives celeb think she took it too far.

Fans liked the down-to-earth Meri Brown, as the average woman could relate to her. Fans liked that she seemed not to mind the lines and creases that came along with her natural looks. But now it looks like this Sister Wives celebrity didn’t see it that way.

At first, Meri’s selfies came with many facial expressions, but they were just Meri being Meri. Now the Sister Wives fans weigh in with what they see changing today.

Meri Asked to Leave It Alone…

Sister Wives fans notice the touch-up jobs that Meri seems to do on her photos today. They are no longer subtle. There’s not a line to be found on some of her newer postings.

But that’s not all, as some fans now see her going too far to the point of slightly distorting her face with her photo tune-ups. Meri’s once round face started to look alien-like to one fan.

Meri is certainly not alone, it seems more and more people use filters on social media. It’s all about putting your best foot forward. Or, in this case, your best face. But fans suggest she’s veered too far from subtle these days.

Fame from the Sister Wives series opened a lot of doors for all the spouses of the now-failed polygamous marriage. Each of them, except Robyn Brown, has used that to their advantage for money making.

What they do best lately is to sell, sell, sell to their million-plus captive audience of followers. So, while the first three original wives promote and sell products, Kody Brown has his own thing going on. He’s online selling personalized video messages to fans on Cameo.

Sister Wives: Don’t Do Away with Your Best Asset

Fame does funny things to otherwise ordinary people. And one of the draws to Meri Brown is that she managed to stay ordinary, like her fans, as that fame grew.

But today, her fans see a change, like she’s succumbed to the fame. She’s creating a plastic look to herself in many online posts. Those smooth moves of brushing out even the slightest blemish on a picture have fans begging her to stop.

Sister Wives fans debate whether some of her latest posts look like her. In the photos above, the top line comes from her selfies. The bottom line pictures are random screenshots from the series.

Some fans worry that her ego grows a bit too big today. What originally made Meri Brown popular was her appeal to the average person.

But as she glams up her pictures, she starts to look like fame went to her head, and fans of her TLC series beg her to stop. They see behind the flawless photos into the real Meri Brown.

Sister Wives star Christine Brown has Kody Brown on her mind again in her latest interview with the TLC series star. Her new life blossomed into a marriage she describes as heaven-made. So, trying to attract Kody’s attention should not be on her to-do list today, warn fans.

Sister Wives: Christine Brown Warned – Give It a Break

This week, Christine Brown’s latest interview has fans taking notice. From all accounts, she’s married to a wonderful man, David Woolley.

Yet, for some reason, it appears to the fans that she’s still trying to jab at Kody Brown to conjure up jealousy. In the recent past, Christine even recruited David to help her squash the Sister Wives patriarch on social media.

Christine’s now famous nacho scene, which features David, throws it back into her ex-hubby’s face. Then she threw the Sister Wives patriarch’s Skittles and beer remark back at him. But she’s had her say and fans get it. But now they worry she’s gone too far.

Christine Seeks Kody Brown’s Jealousy?

To say Kody Brown handed Christine Brown an awful description of his marriage with her is an understatement. He said this with the Sister Wives camera pointing his way, and it made it onto national television for all to hear.

He told Christine that he never felt attracted to her. So, six kids and a quarter of a century later, the once–shared husband played a nasty deed on Christine. He told her this for the first time with Sister Wives cameras rolling.

So, during this new interview, Christine delved into how this felt when Kody shattered her world on camera. She said that while her ex says he wasn’t attracted to her, she was to him.

Despite what the once-shared husband said, Christine had a different take on their Sister Wives’ marriage history. She said, “So, it was romantic for me. It was everything that I wanted. And he was just the coolest, bravest guy I knew. So, yeah, to me, it was (romantic)”.

But fans want to know how this makes her new hubby feel. He’s helped her get her digs into Kody. So far, he hasn’t said a word in earshot of the public about her latest jab, which fans think is an attempt at provoking jealousy.

Sister Wives Fans Beg Her to Stop Kody Campaign

Sister Wives fans seemed to understand why she goes overboard with praise about David. When flaunting the things he’s got going for him, she compares him to her ex. So, it may help her save face.

Some fans suggest she needed to decompress in front of the world. This may help her, especially after what Kody did to her in the public eye.

But for many Sister Wives fans, Christine’s campaign seems to continue with no signs of slowing down. So, they suggest it is time to start looking into the future with David. But at the same time, give up the past with Kody.

One fan suggested Christine looked foolish. They also warned that she could lose her new husband if she continued.

During that new interview, Christine praised the same Kody Brown who claimed she didn’t appeal to him. But she said once she heard Kody say all those things, it validated her decision to leave.

Christine said she realized her days of pretending were over, and it was time to move on. So Christine Brown became the first Sister Wives bride to jump ship and leave Kody Brown with only three wives on the TLC series.

Worthy up.

It’s something Meri Brown has written on Instagram for many months.

But t’s now a lot more than a saying for this veteran Sister Wives cast member.

It’s a way of life — and also a brand new business.

Late this past week, Brown informed fans and followers that has launched a company titled — perhaps you’ve guessed it by now — Worthy Up.

“[Worthy Up] has been in the works for a while, and it’s so fun to see it finally come to fruition! I’ve spent the better part of the past decade taking a good look at myself and figuring out who I am, what I want, and where I’m going. I had to Worthy Up,” Meri shared via the company’s Facebook page on Friday, April 26.

“This community is a place where I will share my personal experiences of growth and hope to support you in your journey, too.”

We’ll be honest: We’re not totally sure what Worthy Up is or does just yet… but look below! It has merchandise!

According to the Facebook bio, Worthy Up is “a community focused on transformation and self discovery” and “a safe space for individuals to grow, connect, and inspire one another.”

Earlier that same day, Brown teased the new project on social media, causing fans to buzz with guesses about the possible announcement.

“Curious??” the mom of one captioned a blurred-out image, adding a wink face emoji and a “Worthy Up” hashtag. “4 p.m. MST today.”

Those who have been following Meri’s social media journey over the past year or so have read many inspirational messages from the TLC personality.

Meri and Kody Brown terminated their marriage in January 2023, following a lengthy period of dissatisfaction — and zero romance.

“You don’t need to earn anything, prove anything, or be anything other than who you are,” Meri wrote at one point, for example.

“You deserve love, you deserve to be seen and heard, and you deserve to exist as you are and in your full glory, simply because you’re YOU!”

This is the sort of post observers had tried to impart on Meri for years… after she insisted on staying with Kody despite the father of 17 making it clear he was totally over her as a romantic partner.

“We all have moments where we feel unworthy, or feel like we have to prove something, or even worse, allow other people’s opinions or pressures of the world around us, to dictate who we are,” Meri added in September.

“Let’s stop that!”

In December 2022, Meri wrote:

“If you don’t want to make waves, keep on being mediocre. Do the thing that everyone else is doing. Seek everyone else’s opinion and validation. Do what everyone else thinks you should do.

“Or … Do your thing. Do your thing in your own time and on your own terms. Let them judge you. Let them talk about you. Let them create their own ‘stories’ about you.”

Despite the end of her union, meanwhile, Meri has remained quite positive any time she addresses the public.

Just a few days ago, she acknowledged her failed marriage in this manner:

“34 years ago today, I got married. 34 years ago was the start of this family that so many of you have come to love or, well, not so much. Yes, I know full well that we are a very polarizing topic.

“At that time, and in the many years following, I never anticipated a divorce was in my future.

“I don’t regret my marriage, and I don’t regret my divorce.”

Meri Brown Launches New Business, Tells Everyone to WORTHY UP was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Sister Wives star Meri Brown sobs uncontrollably, with the TLC celebrity attributing her emotions to something that went missing. This is what caused her tears in a recent post.

Meri’s fans, who tune into her Friday with Friends online chat fest, know she’ll likely never get it back. By now, the Sister Wives celebrity’s missing object is likely a shriveled speck, swept up with a broom. Or, in a far-fetched theory, framed on a wall somewhere as celeb memorabilia.

Sister Wives: So What Did Meri Brown Lose?

This week, Meri Brown reflected on what would have been her 34th wedding anniversary with Kody Brown. She loves the guy, so reading her thoughts on this special day was hard for Meri’s fans. Despite saying, she’s happy now, fans think she’d still be with Kody if he hadn’t changed.

So, yes, Meri Brown lost the only man she probably ever loved, but that’s not what her tears were about. The week before last, Meri read the results of her colonoscopy test out loud to fans.

During her live-streaming show, the original Sister Wives matriarch shared the bad news her doctor sent in a letter. While it was surely bad news, it’s not the news you might expect to hear after that uncomfortable procedure.

So, it seems Meri Brown didn’t lose a thing. However, according to her doctor, the technician did. But this didn’t stop Meri Brown from having fun with it. At one point she even offered a $1000 reward for the return of that polyp.

Meri’s Letter – You Can’t Make This Stuff Up

The Sister Wives star read this letter while sitting with her co-host, Jenn Sullivan. If you have ever seen these two together on Fridays with Friends, then you know there’s not a dry eye in the house for the audience.

These two are magical with their ability to feed off one another for laughs. The first round of laughter comes after Meri reads the greeting.

The doctor passed along that it was a pleasure to meet her. Meri Brown pointed out it was a three-second hello and then down to business. So, she filled in the fans about the doctor spending more time on her backside rather than with her face-to-face.

Sister Wives: Tears Flow in Photo

As Meri read two more bits of information, she and Jenn revved up the laughter. First, the doctor informed the Sister Wives star that the polyp removed during that procedure was missing.

It seems the technician lost it. So, now Meri and Jenn have a good laugh over this missing polyp.  They even had a theory that it might have been stolen, after all, Meri Brown is a celebrity.

So, it could be hanging in a frame in someone’s living room. Then the letter read that the lab ran the tests on what they thought was her polyp. But it turned out that they only biopsied a speck of fecal matter. Yep, that got Meri and Jenn rolling in laughter to the point of snorting, they couldn’t contain themselves.

So, Meri Brown didn’t let this go. Today, she posted the photo above to demonstrate the emotional jar she got from learning her polyp went missing. While Meri did have tears in her eyes while sharing the contents of that letter, they were tears of laughter coming from the star of the TLC series.

Janelle Brown has an update for her fans and followers.

On Sunday, the veteran Sister Wives star revealed via Instagram the plan for her son’s beloved pet cats… about seven weeks after Garrison Brown died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

“Garrison’s cats, Catthew and Patches are thriving at Logan [Brown] and Michelle’s place and Ms. Boots is living her best life with Aspyn [Brown] and Mitch,” Janelle wrote.

“It was awesome that we could continue to take care of them like he would.”

For the record: Logan, 29, was Garrison’s older brother… while Aspyn, 29, whose mom is Christine Brown, was his half-sister.

Garrison took his own life on March 4.

The 25-year old was an active member of his community when it came to rescue animals and working with shelters around the Flagstaff, Arizona area.

One of those shelters, High Country Humane Society, even paid tribute to Garrison not long after his death.

“Today, we honor Robert Garrison Brown for his love and compassion towards cats and all animals by naming our Cat Adoption Room after him and the cats he loved and adopted from us,” the organization wrote via Instagram on March 23.

“Garrison, your memory has touched so many lives already and will continue to do so here at High Country Humane for years to come.

“Thank you for sharing your passion for animals with us, we will remember you always.”

Just days before he died by apparent suicide, Garrison also posted on Instagram for the final time to reveal that he had adopted a new pet cat.

“Newest edition to my home, Ms. Buttons,” he wrote. “She’s 9 years old and was on the line for euthanasia but my savior complex couldn’t suffice. #crazycatlady.”

Janelle and her estranged husband Kody Brown confirmed their son’s death on March 5.

“Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown,” the TLC personalities wrote on Instagram.

“He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him. His loss will leave such a big hole in our lives that it takes our breath away.

“We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory.”

On the recent occasion of what would have been his 26th birthday, Janelle honored her late son as follows:

“Happy Birthday Sweetheart. We are missing you terribly today. It’s hard to believe you aren’t here anymore,” Janelle wrote in the caption of an Instagram, accompanied by a whistled version of “Happy Birthday.”

“We talked a lot about you today and even went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner (your favorite place),” the heartbroken mother continued.

“I still feel you nearby sometimes.

“And I’m grateful we will see each other again when my journey is completed.”

Janelle Brown Reveals Plans for Late Son’s Beloved Cats was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Sister Wives, star Kody Brown just got knocked down a few notches, as the fame from the TLC series seems to shift drastically for the second time. Kody’s childhood friends once said he puts a lot of stock in being the center of attention.

Fans saw evidence of this numerous times throughout the many seasons of the reality show. But while Kody may want to remain the center of attention, it seems the forces work against him today.

Sister Wives Kody Takes Center Stage

The viewers learned early on that Kody Brown fancies himself quite the dancer. When Sister Wives filmed an event where dancing was part of it, the camera honed in on Kody.

But it wasn’t so much that the Sister Wives patriarch mastered the dance. That wasn’t what kept fans glued to the screen. No, the viewers couldn’t get over the crazy steps he concocted on the dance floor. He’d get going with his fast-paced footwork and then sweep the dance floor with these exaggerated movements.

Still, Kody made himself the center of attention. In the beginning, four adoring Sister Wives brides would watch and gush over how much fun he was having. One of his latest dancing videos was taken at a friend’s wedding, which he officiated. He was alone there, not even Robyn Brown went with him.

Kody’s Fancy Footwork Scary?

Kody Brown attended a wedding during the COVID shutdown. By doing this, he broke all his own rules about hunkering down in place. This caused friction to start between him and his sons.

Kody became adamant that Janelle Brown‘s sons move out or stay home and away from friends. Either that or he would not visit because this put him in danger of contracting COVID. Janelle was applauded nationwide by Sister Wives fans for choosing her kids.

But despite insisting his family not be around people, he took off to this wedding event, where he would be the center of attention while officiating the vows. Fans were outraged, and this move also infuriated a few of his Sister Wives’ brides and adult kids.

But after the marriage ceremony, he took over the dance floor. But he was in a place where not everyone knew him. Fans commented on how scared the women looked as he pranced around the floor trying to entice a dance partner.

Sister Wives: Who Gets Top Billing Today?

Kody Brown made a big deal out of being the family leader from day one of the Sister Wives series. He took top billing when he called the four ladies he married, his wives, as he seldom referred to himself as their husband.

But with all the turmoil in his once-big, happy Sister Wives family, it looks like even the artificial intelligence of a search engine today has his number. At one point several months ago if you Googled “Kody Brown” the search result described him as Christine Brown‘s ex-husband.

Now today he’s still an ex-husband when you search, but now he’s Janelle Brown’s ex-husband. At one time, Google described Kody Brown as a TV personality. But today it seems like he’s been demoted to a television personality who’s just an ex-husband of a couple of wives from the TLC series. Ouch…

Madison Brown Brush is really going through it these days.

For a really understandable and tragic reason.

The Sister Wives star lost brother Garrison to a self-inflicted gunshot wound back on March 4, a truly shocking and horrifying development… the impact from which will be felt for years to come.

In a new Instagram post, Maddie doesn’t mention Garrison by name.

But she delves into some recent emotions that one must assume are linked to the suicide.

“This past November, I embarked on a month-long journey of gratitude, driven by my curiosity about its profound effects on our well-being,” wrote the daughter of Janelle Brown last week.

“The insights I gained were nothing short of astounding, revealing how a simple practice could significantly alter our emotional landscape.”

Maddie then said she’s bee “holding onto a lot of anger — feeling it gnaw at me day after day.”

A post shared by Madison Brush (@madison_rose11)

She continued in her post as follows:

“It’s becoming a heavy load to carry, and I’m starting to feel ready for a change.

“I’m not quite ready to commit to another month of focused gratitude or to completely let go of my anger yet.

“However, I am ready to wake up without that immediate sense of irritation and to not let anger color my entire day. It seems that cultivating a softer heart could be the first step, and gratitude feels like the right tool for this.”

In mid-March, Maddie also shared extensive personal thoughts; also inspired by what befell her brother.

“Mental health is so important and I don’t think we talk about it enough and I don’t think we do enough to bring awareness,” she acutely said back then.

“It wasn’t bullying, it wasn’t a lack of love that Garrison had, it was mental health, and I am going to continue talking about mental health and self care until I am blue in the face.”

Such a brave, poignant and accurate thing for Maddie to have said.

In this latest case, Maddie once again let followers get a peek inside her brain and her heart.

“This journey seems to be filled with both shadows and light. The absence of what was once familiar is profoundly painful, yet the gratitude for the moments we shared is overwhelmingly powerful,” she wrote, concluding:

“I know that it’s perfectly okay to find small moments of gratitude amidst the pain.

“Embracing gratitude doesn’t mean ignoring our hurts; I think it means allowing ourselves to appreciate the full breadth of our experiences, the bitter and the sweet.”

In the time we Garrison took his own life, we’ve learned that his family was aware of his suicidal tenedences.

Garrison himself cited this mental health struggle in a text message with his mom not long before he passed away.

At this point, we can only continue to keep Maddie and her relatives in mind and to continue to send them our very best wishes.

May Garrison Brown rest in peace.
